Christmas Dulce de Leche Cashew Turtles

These Christmas Dulce de Leche Cashew Turtles are seriously ultra-easy to make and just require 4-ingredient. The only thing you need to do is to pile some roasted cashews, cover with Dulce de Leche, top with dark chocolate and Christmas sprinkles.

Last week after our trip to Argentina and Uruguay I finally had the time to cook and bake again. These two countries are well known by their dulce de leche and alfajores. Everywhere you go we see them and of course we want to eat them every single minute… (at least that is what happened to me… hahahaha). Since I loved their dulce de leche I bought two jars to make some Christmas treats. When I arrived in Brazil I was thinking about what to bake with that. I opened the pantry and saw some roasted cashews and a huge bag of chocolate chips that my husband bought for me months ago.

So, the only thing that crossed my mind was the chocolate turtles recipe. Instead of using pecans and caramel I replaced them for cashews and dulce de leche and I have to tell you – These were AH-amzing. I gave them to my neighbour and after trying them she said: “These turtles are INSANELY GOOD! You have to post this on the blog”. And that’s what I’m doing 😉 I have to share this recipe with you because it was really good. The salty roasted cashews with the dulce the leche bring out the best flavour of sweet and salty together. On top of that, this combo blends perfectly with the dark chocolate. I’m telling you these Cashew Dulce de Leche Turtles are a treat to die for!

I’ve never tried to make turtles before, but they are actually quite easy, assuming you are not going to make the caramel (in my case the dulce de leche). All you need to do is to melt the chocolate and the dulce the leche in the microwave. Than you are going to assemble the turtles. You have to make a small pile of cashews, add dulce de leche and chocolate on top of it and finally add some Christmas sprinkles. Now you have a simple, easy, gluten-free and super flavourful new treat for Christmas to try! Hope you enjoy them!

I’ve never made my own turtles before, but I always say I’m going to since they’re my mom’s favorite candy. I saw a truffle version earlier today and between those and these, I’m feeling very inspired!
